What's on this week's menu?

[kima]

Well i finally had time to sit down and figure out a week's worth on dinners instead of flying by the seat of my pants!

Here's mine- what's yours?:)

Felafel served with pita and veggies

Bell Peppers stuffed with herbed tofu and rice (The Complete Soy Cookbook)

White beans with sage (the recipe Julie posted from Natural Health magazine)

Greek-style Scampi posted on the Best Shrimp recipe thread

Grace's WW Tomato and Pepper Soup

Last Minute Lasagna posted here from Real Simple Magazine

Samosa Quesadillas from CL- I got it form here a long while ago!

Roasted Root Vegetable Stew from March CL 2002

There- that should keep us for awhile. of course I will add side dishes etc. I sort of wing that part of the meal!

Now to write out my shopping list for tomrrow and I am ready for the week ahead!

[JHolcomb]

I've been feeling terribly uninspired lately, but I guess I'll come up with something...

Stir Fried Beef and Asparagus from April 2002 Bon Apetit served with brown rice and maybe with the addition of baby bok choy

Chile roasted chicken with roasted garlic gravy . Epicurious, Jewel posted this some time ago. I plan on serving it with the chipotle baked beans from March 2002 and b-b-q slaw (totally a Western North Carolina food)

B-B-Q chicken pizza my own creation, to use up the chicken from the chile roasted chicken

Butternut squash with coconut, lime, and cilantro or something like that, posted recently on the BB

Spaghetti and Meatballs because DH has been begging for them for months. I'll make one of the tomato sauces from CL to go with them.

Also, some kinda tuna or shrimp dish. I have both in the freezer, just gotta figure out what to do with them.

[kima]

Gee if that is you uninspired!!:D

Maureen, let's buy an around-the-world ticket and go together! We could start at my house (DH'll take us to the airport)and end at yours, pick up Grace on our way east. Could we stop in Egypt, Namibia, and South Africa, Lebanon, India, and Indonesia after Europe and hit Argentina and Ecuador after Australia/New Zealand? Okay, cool. Start packin' :D

Hi to everyone.

This week's menu:

Sunday: One-Pan Whiskey Chicken (we had sauce leftover from the pork version), maple sweet potatoes and broccoli.

Monday: Chili, cornbread twists and probably leftover broccoli.

Tuesday: I get to go out with the girls! :) I'll probably be having soup and salad at Ruby Tuesday's.

Wednesday: Spaghetti Carbonarra (CL, 2001), salad and bread.

Thursday: Turkey Jambalaya (CL, November 2001) - I'm making this for our recipe club. Sides??? Chocolate Bundt Cake (CL, Jan/Feb 2002).

Friday: White Bean Soup (CL, March 2002). Possibly served with a veggie fritatta.

Hmmmm...looks like a "meaty" week. I've been trying to do 2 meat dishes, one seafood dish and the rest vegetarian. Oh well.

Happy eating everyone! :)

[funnybone]

DH is travelling towards the end of the week, so I really don't have much planned, but I am making something with salmon tomorrow.

I have a recipe for Spice-Crusted Salmon with Lime-Orange Salsa that I printed out from MC, but I don't recall where the recipe came from. I'm thinking of making that with the salmon. Also, at some point I want to finally make Vidalia Onion Risotto with Feta Cheese, and a WS recipe Rigatoni with White Beans and Tomatoes.

I will have to see what I get around to, besides the salmon though.

Thank you, Julie! You are so sweet. Yes, we leave on Wednesday!! Do many places have menus that you can keep? I am definitely planning on keeping a journal of what we eat (not for weight watchers purposes :o for memory purposes), and I will give a full report!

By the way , our hotel has been switched by the booking company to a place on the left bank. Villa Lutece on Rue Jenner. Not quite in the thick of things anymore, but I think still on the egde of the area I consider central.

Sorry, Maureen. I should not clog up your menu thread with travel chat!

Vickie - I have made them before. While they are not quite like the restaurant kind, I didn't miss all the grease! I used Walla Walla onions, which were so sweet they really made these great. My first batch had too much batter, but going forward I let ALL the excess batter drip off.

[kima]

Hi helene! It is so nice to have someone from NB here! Somewhere I hope to visit someday!

here are the links to threads with those recipes!

Thanks Kima,

Cannot wait to try them.

What do you do with leftovers bell peppers?

Can I freeze them?

I travelled in BC. Love it. I lived in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and now New Brunswick.

Canada is a really nice country. I really like every part I visited or lived.

Have a good one,
